I changed the driver-side bulb on my wife’s 2008 Prius after getting a $200+ quote from our local dealer. It took a whole day and scraped most of the skin from my left hand. The driver-side is much tighter and it was a truly awful experience! Thank you for your step-by-step instructions for the passenger-side bulb! I really enjoy your channel! 👍🏼

200 dollars?! That's honestly an insane quote for just a bulb change. So glad we've got channels like these, yeah!

Thank you for the video! ❤ Managed to do it by myself with help of your video and I did a few pictures with my phone to see the wire that hold the bulb! Lots of love! ❤

Is it not the case where you change the bulbs in pairs? Once one of them blows, it should be the case where the other one is likely to give out as well, no?

I hate to clog up the comments on this Prius video but I am not tech savvy enough to know how to send you an email or personal message. What are your thoughts on Amsoil transmission fluid instead of the ATF WS for my 2018 Highlander with 8 speed Tranny? I use Amsoil two-stroke oil in my aircraft and have found it to be an excellent product. Thank you for your time and excellent content!

Ever had to replace the headlights on a Yaris? Biggest pain in the rear, you actually have to take off the bumper and grill in order to remove the assembly to be able to pull out the socket. there is no other way unless you start removing components in the engine compartment.

had to unscrew the bumper and light fitting in my Nissan Maxima to change main bulb - shame they can't just have a hinge with easy access, like the old Mercedes

I still have all the original lamps in my 08 Tundra. I did have to get into the passenger side headlight area to repair squirrel damage to the wires for the headlight and side marker. I know it was squirrel because his tail got caught under the washer fluid tank and left behind.

This has to be the most irritating thing about my Toyota Avensis, and most, if not all, modern cars, you nearly need an engineering degree, these days, to change an f####g bulb.... should be a law against this, but......

The lenses need the white toothpaste with a lot of rubbing treatment to grind that yellowed plastic away. Then you finish polishing with NuFinish auto polish a few times. It worked on my old 2000 Expedition. I had to take the brighter after market bulb out of the driver's side though. I kept getting flashed with both sides with the 2 brighter Sylvania bulbs installed. It's funny that looking at the headlights at night you don't notice that the passenger side one is brighter. But if you pull up to a white garage door, you can see that the after market bulb is both brighter, and whiter than the standard halogen bulb which is stock for the vehicle. You don't want to hit a deer if you can avoid it. Not to mention people walking on a 2 lane unlit road, dressed in all dark clothing with no shoe reflectors.
